A numerical algorithm for image sequence inpainting that preserves fine textures
No full textWe describe a fast, reliable and automatic algorithm for image sequence inpainting that combines spatio-temporal interpolation with fine texture preservation inside missing areas. The algorithm provides an estimate of the inpainting error by using an automatic geometric recognition of missing regions. Computational kernels are sparse linear systems solved using Generalized Minimum RESidual iterative method equipped with AMG multigrid preconditioner. Experiments on synthetic and real data are discusse
Numerical Solution of Diffusion Models in Biomedical Imaging on Multicore Processors
Full text linkIn this paper, we consider nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) of diffusion/advection type underlying most problems in image analysis. As case study, we address the segmentation of medical structures. We perform a comparative study of numerical algorithms arising from using the semi-implicit and the fully implicit discretization schemes. Comparison criteria take into account both the accuracy and the efficiency of the algorithms. As measure of accuracy, we consider the Hausdorff distance and the residuals of numerical solvers, while as measure of efficiency we consider convergence history, execution time, speedup, and parallel efficiency. This analysis is carried out in a multicore-based parallel computing environment

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
